Roll Credits on Year One.

The Sea Cliff Arts Council is proud to look back on the inaugural Sea Cliff Film Festival, held June 13 to 14, 2026.

Over two days and three venues (St. Luke's, Sea Cliff Elementary, and the Sea Cliff Arts Council), 315 film lovers from 95 ZIP codes came out for 1,084 tickets' worth of independent film, conversation, and community.

SCFF brings independent filmmakers and audiences together in the heart of Sea Cliff, celebrating storytelling, supporting local and emerging voices, and making great film part of village life.

Thank you to our sponsors, including Branch Real Estate Group, and to every volunteer, filmmaker, and neighbor who made year one happen.

Save the date for SCFF 2027. Details coming soon.
